Announce your engagement to the people who matter first.
Tell the people who matter before the feed does. Write the letter, add the photos, and a film if there’s one to send, so they can hear you say it. Pay once and send the link. They open it on their screen, like the real thing.
Engagement envelope: what goes inside
A letter
How it happened, from both sides, and who cried first.
Dear all, He did it on the pier. In the rain. Of course he did.
A postcard
The ring, obviously. Then the two of you, less obviously.
Yes. (Obviously.)
A film
The moment, if someone filmed it, or the two of you telling the story on the sofa.

How it works
Fill the envelope with a letter, postcards and a film — any mix, up to ten pieces, and one price for the whole envelope by what's inside. Pay once, by card. Send the link now, or keep it sealed until the day: no app to install, it opens on any phone, and it's kept for good.
Engagement envelope questions
Can I send one link to the whole family?
Yes. One envelope, one link: send it to everyone, and they all open the same thing.
Can everyone find out at the same time?
Set the moment it opens and send the link beforehand. Everyone sees a countdown, then the news together, so neither side of the family hears it second.
How much does it cost?
$1.29 for letters and postcards, $5 with a film. One price for the whole envelope, up to ten pieces, paid once by card through Stripe. No subscription.
Do they need an app?
No. One link, opened in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. They tap the seal and the envelope opens.
When should I send it?
Whenever you like. Send the link straight away, or send it now and set the day and time it opens — until then they’ll see the sealed envelope and a countdown.
Can I change it after I’ve paid?
Until they open it, yes. Sign in with the email you paid with and change what’s inside; the link stays the same. You can’t add anything that costs more than you paid, and once they’ve opened it, it stays as it is.
How long does it last?
For good. They can open it as many times as they like. A film is kept for a year after it’s first opened, and they can save their own copy.

Say it properly.
Five minutes to write. One payment. One link they’ll open more than once.
